Ms. New York Belly-down Bias

Beach
April 1980 YM8010

Costume
   St. Raphael Lycra red extra wide bandeau and sidestrapped nombril bikini. $35.00.

   TML. Armpit. N-5.

Actions
   Ms. New York lies on her towel on the beach as she poses for a feature article on swimsuit fashions for the Hamptons this summer (1).

Commentary
   Belly-down, as the bandeau descends to cover the ribs, and the culotte descends to reveal more of the pelvis. The result is a covering, uncovering. Obviously belly-down bias would be accelerated by the bandeau descending even lower down the belly, but none the less the depth of the soutien-gorge here is telling.
